Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Neurology

Background:

  • Migrainous infarction represents a complex intersection of migraine and stroke.
  • Understanding this association is critical for accurate diagnosis and management.
  • It is an extreme manifestation of the migraine-stroke link.

Approach:

  • This chapter explores the multifaceted relationship between migraine and stroke.
  • It reviews increased stroke risks in migraine patients and stroke triggers in migraineurs.
  • The progression of stroke in migraine patients and associated clinical conditions are discussed.

Key Points:

  • The annual incidence of migrainous infarction is approximately 0.80 per 100,000 person-years, with higher rates in females.
  • Patients are typically younger (29-39 years) and have fewer traditional vascular risk factors.
  • Prognosis can be more favorable compared to strokes related to traditional risk factors.

Conclusions:

  • Thorough evaluation is essential to exclude other stroke causes.
  • Recommended treatments include antiplatelet therapy and migraine preventive strategies.
  • Vasoactive medications like triptans and ergots should be avoided in patients with migrainous infarction.
